Unapologetically, always choose your happiness.

You are in control. Extricate self from toxic environments and away from toxic people, even if they be those believed you share bloodlines.

Embrace the proverb of the Akan of Ghana: “Onipa ho anto no a, nae fi ne nneyee.” Translated into English: 

“If one is unhappy, the cause of one’s unhappiness is within oneself.” 

Meaning: 

“One is often to blame for one’s own unhappiness. “

“This proverb encourages one to accept responsibility for one’s own challenging circumstances instead of blaming others for them.” 

My learning from “Wisdom from Africa – A collection of proverbs,” compiled by Dianne Stewart).

I set my #2026Challege as a year of healing, during which and throughout the year, I remember to always choose my happiness.

I hope you join me in remembering to always choose your happiness.

Good morning and a blessed day.
